Blue Jays Acquire Genesis Cabrera From Cardinals
1 year agoThe Toronto Blue Jays acquired left-hander Genesis Cabrera from the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday in exchange for minor-league catching prospect Sammy Hernandez. Cabrera had been designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Monday. The 26-year-old Dominican southpaw struggled for St. Louis in 32 appearances out of their bullpen this year before being DFA'd, as he posted a 5.06 ERA (5.04 FIP), 1.56 WHIP, 18 walks and 38 strikeouts in 32 innings pitched. The Blue Jays will attempt to get more out of him and will likely start him in the minor leagues. Cabrera has a 4.14 ERA (4.44 FIP), 1.36 WHIP, three saves and a 23.9 percent strikeout rate in 189 1/3 major-league innings since 2019.
